Firefox 3 is all set to reach new territories, and on the way to its glory it aims to create a world record for the most number of software downloads in a single day. Mozilla is surely on its way to create the record and its asking everyone including me and you to pledge to download Firefox 3 when its available for public download..

Well the dates for the release haven’t been announced as yet but looking at the recent Release Candidate builds Firefox looks like a solid improvement over Firefox 2. I’d say go ahead and make a pledge to help Firefox create this new world record…

To help Mozilla set the world record, they recommend the following:

• Sign up to get the final copy of Firefox 3 on Download Day.
• Host a Download Day Fest on Firefox 3 launch day at your school, office, or anywhere with an Internet connection.
• Become a Firefox campus representative and collect pledges from fellow students.
• Add Mozilla buttons and banners to your site, blog, or profile.
